VII.—THE FLORA OF MADRAS: III. 
The third Bet (pp. 391-577) LeguminosaeCaesalpinioideae to 
Caprifoliaceae of the Flora of Madras has now been ete 
and the following notes have been drafted by Mr. Gamble. We 
are indebted to him for the opportunity of placing these on 
ord for the information of workers in herbaria, relative to con- 
iiaten ns with regard to particular species dealt with 3 in the work 
that differ from “those arrived at by earlier writers.

Leguminosae—Papilionatae.—In the Key to the Genera at p. 
276, line 2, after ‘‘ l-seeded,’’ should be inserted “ (except nos. 
24 and 25).’’ The omission was made inadvertently, and I am 
obliged to the Reviewer of Part ii in the * Journal of Botany, 
for July, 1918, p. 220, for drawing my attention to it. Both 
Pye nospora and Pseudarthria are clearly, as was pointed out in 
the “ Genera Plantarum,”’ nearly related to Diinsdiuaes in which 
genus, indeed, one species, D. gyrans, has also the character of the 
joints of the pod not separating. Arachis also has the pod not 
jointed, while Lespedeza ous only one joint, but both seem righily 
for the well-known common shrub of the forest undergrowth 
described as I. pulchella, Roxb. In adopting this name I have 
only followed other works, but I am inclined to think that there 
are perhaps two species—the northern one, J. elliptica, Roxb., 
the southern one, J. cassioides, Rotte, though I found it impossible 
to give datistactone distinguishing characters. 
Tephrosia. YT am much indebted to Mr. J. R. Drummond for 
his assistance in this genus which he has been studying for so 
long. I hope that his general paper on the genus will soon be 
published, nae the descriptions of his new species, 7. eye adore
